No Bake Granola Bars

One of my first blog posts were about granola bars.  Holy cow, it’s been almost 2 years.   Almost 2 years that I completely fell in love with making granola bars, and it was time I tried a different recipe.  Preferably a recipe that quick & no bake. This one comes together in no time & is so easy peasy!  The chocolate drizzle is optional but highly recommended.  Can you ever say no to chocolate?  The answer is no!

Caramel Corn

Caramel Corn is one of my favorite snack items.  I tend to make it only during the fall season.  This is a good thing, because it never lasts long.   Gavin and I always fight over it-and he usually wins!!  I have made this recipe plenty of times last year-Thanksgiving, Christmas and the week’s in-between.  I decided to make this over the past weekend as we had our first snowfall (so excited!) and Halloween is fast approaching.  You can add M&M’s, candy corn or other treats if you want to give it a Halloween flair.  But in my opinion, it’s best without anything!

Double-Cranberry Crostini

I know cranberries are considered mainly for usage at Christmas and Thanksgiving, but I couldn't help but feel that with the way the weather has been, we may just get it.  I mean it was almost -5 over the past weekend!  Mother Nature seems slightly confused, and I really hope the weather improves soon.  Last year we had mainly rain...so the winter was fairly depressing.  We let the rain dictate our lives and didn't get out as much as we should have...NOT letting that happen this year!  Anyway, I figured it would be nice to try out a cranberry recipe, as I know it's something (well, for me anyway) that sits in the freezer all summer long awaiting to accompany the next turkey dinner.  I thought this would be great for a summer appetizer!
